Builders Association.

Other towns of less size than Opelou.
sas have organized successful Building
Associations which have proved OF
great benefit to the members, and such
associations are being started in many
other towns Of the State We copy be-.
low from the Rayne Signal very ex-
plicit explanation of the object, pur-
poses, and advantages of Builders
Association, and suggest that one be
organized in our town also. Why
should not our people keep pace with
the energy and enterprise Of our young
er sister towns
The stock of the association is fixed at a
certain amount and divided into shares, of
which person may own any number not ex.
ceeding q specified limit, and pays for them
at the rate of 25 cents per share per week.
A Stockholder 10 entitled to loan of $500
on each share, less the premium bid for same.
To illustrate: Suppose u stockholder owning
Is shares, desires loan with which to buy
improved property, or unimproved property
and build on same. He is entitled 10 loan
OF $500 on each share equal $4,000
Less premium Of say 25 per cent. 75o
Net proceeds. $3.50

and consequently his loan of. $4,000
would be-. ....................... l95
Annual interest on $4,000 at per CT
payable in equal weekly instailments. ls9
Total annual payments. ..... S375
Il will take probably not more than 9 years
for the stockholder to pay up his loan, hence
he would have to pay nine times the annual
amount of 1875, or total sum of S3375 In nine
years, and acquire homo free from all iu.
cumbrance.
Suppose Instead OF borrowing from the AS
sociation in the manner described, he borrows
the net amount received ON his loan from -
capitalist ,-..-.-- $22oU
for 8 years at 8 per cent per anuum.
In 8 years ne would have to pay for
making his total outlay principal aud

while for the same result, ia the same
time, be would have paid to the Asso.

or a difference in favor of borrowing
from the Association of-..-...... of $t25
II therefore he borrows from the As.
sociation, and pays in years. 1915
to cancel his nominal loan of $4,000
for which he took net. 1850
and has actually paid over and above
the net he received, the sum Of. lI2s
he has then paid us interest The annual
sum of. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. l25
or per cent per annum on the net he
received tS2250j to the Association, instead of
Sper cent, to capitalist.
Suppose instead of acquiring home, By
paying as above the sum of S3375, he chooses
to rent house at say $50 per month. In
years he pays IS rent the sum OF 1920. LII
other words, by paying only si35 more, in nine
years, than his rent would be for the same
length of time, he acquires . valuable prop
erty.
Thus, to the mechanic, la5orer, salesman
clerk aud tradesman, and TO all persons anx-
ions to relieve themselves of the burden oi
rent, the investment in this stock offers the
easiest and cheapest mode by which they can
iu few years become independents of the
landlord and tenants of their own houses at q
cost but little In excess Of s0hGs dey are aoc pay
